Description

Barbot on Guinea presents the complete writings of Jean Barbot, a French commercial agent who documented West African trade routes and coastal settlements during the late 17th century. Based on his voyage journals from 1678-1679 and 1681-1682, Barbot compiled an extensive account of the Guinea coast that he began in 1683 and continually refined until his death in 1712. Originally composed in French, Barbot later rewrote and substantially expanded the work in English, incorporating observations from both his firsthand experience and established printed sources of the period. This two-volume edition from Routledge represents the most comprehensive historical record of West African geography, commerce, and maritime activities during this pivotal era, offering scholars and historians invaluable primary source material for understanding early modern African coastal trade and European exploration.

Key Features

Barbot on Guinea comprises two complete volumes documenting Jean Barbot's eyewitness accounts from French slave-trading voyages to West Africa between 1678 and 1712.

The work incorporates Barbot's original voyage journals alongside extensive research from contemporary printed sources, providing a comprehensive historical record of the Guinea coast.

Barbot's manuscript underwent decades of revision and enlargement, with the author continually updating the English version from 1685 until his death in 1712, ensuring scholarly depth.

Routledge's edition presents Barbot's complete writings in their final, most extensively developed form, offering historians and maritime scholars an authoritative primary source on 17th-century West African trade.
